Bernie Sanders blasts Michael Bloomberg at Iowa rally: 'You ain't gonna buy this election'
Fox News ^ | 11/09/2019 | Andrew Craft

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., had a billionaire in his sights at a campaign rally in Iowa Saturday night — and for once, it wasn’t President Trump.

“Tonight we say to Michael Bloomberg, ‘Sorry, you ain’t gonna buy this election,’” Sanders told a crowd in Coralville, outside Iowa City. “ … Those days are gone.” […]

Sanders also excoriated Bloomberg for avoiding the earliest states on the primary and caucus calendar and focusing his efforts on the states that hold nominating contests on Super Tuesday and later in 2020.

“You’re not going to get elected president by avoiding Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada,” Sanders said. “Yes, we don’t have a super PAC and I’m not worth $52 billion.” […]

Now, the Sanders campaign is fundraising off the news. An email to supporters started off this way: “Did you see the news? Mike Bloomberg is filing paperwork to run for President of the United States. Just what America needs…another billionaire using his wealth to try to buy an election.” …

He might not buy this election, but he could easily buy you.
I’m sure he could afford a nice mansion for you to just go away...

Bernie, a “man” who never had a job until he was in his 40’s but, nonetheless has since become a Millionaire is worried that a democrat Billionaire will stomp all over him.

This is just too funny. Some people are Born Losers. Bernie, Fauxcahontis, Harris, and Hellery fit that description very well.

Bloomberg will do less well than Hellery. Why? Because most of the Socialists/Communists within the dem party that Love Ocasio and The Squad will never ever vote for the Billionaire Bloomberg.

A white male Billionaire is someone they despise. Wall Street, K Street, etc...will love him but, that’s not enough for Bloomberg to have a chance.

Bloomy is the skunk that wanders through the backyard BBQ party. He's dodged a bunch of the preliminary jostling and set-piece debate drama, which will rub everybody else the wrong way - as we are seeing. It's gonna up the chaos in a delicious way. Go Bloomy, Go!

Whatever you might say about Bloomberg, at least he’s buying the election with his own money. Bernie is buying the election with money from wealthy taxpayers he intends to rob.

Interesting words coming from someone who sold off his candidacy in 2016 for an lakefront dacha in Vermont.
